Chapter 3451
There was no chance of winning if a lower-ranked saint honor golden lion competed against a high-ranked saint
honor golden lion.
Darryl smiled and comforted Angeline, "Don't panic, we won't lose!"
Darryl wore a confident expression on his face.
He thought of using his shrewdness like the allusion of Tian Ji's Horse Racing from the Nine Mainland when he
asked Jameson about the rules of the match earlier.
The allusion was about the story of Sunbin, a famous adviser in the Warring States Period. Sunbin was an adviser
under General Tianji, and Tianji liked horse racing with Mister Qi. Sunbin realized that the horses in the race were
divided into high, middle, and low rank, so he said to Tianji, "You should use your low-ranked horse to compete
against their high-ranked horse. Use your high-ranked horse against their middle-ranked horse, and then use the
middle- ranked horse against their low-ranked horse. In that case, you shall win the match." 1
Tianji adopted Sunbin's strategy and won the race.
Darryl had read many ancient books from the Nine Mainland, and he was familiar with the allusion to Tianji's
Horse Racing. He thought of using the same tactic in the battle of golden lions.
Jameson, who was the opponent, could not help but laugh at Darryl's poor strategy. He shouted, "Mister Darren,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdo you have no faith in your golden lions at all? Let’s make it clear. You can't change your mind after deciding on
which lion to use."
Jameson had not realized Darryl's true intention behind his seemingly unintelligent move, thinking that Darryl
had made a stupid mistake.
'Stupid!'
Darryl chuckled and glanced at Jameson; he replied faintly, "Don't worry. I won't change
my mind after I choose it." Then, he walked toward the low-ranked saint honor golden lion.
When he arrived before the golden lion, Darryl discreetly activated the beast taming loop
and said, "Golden lion, you will never be able to beat the opponent in the first match, so
you don't have to go all out. You should just admit defeat at a suitable time."
Even though the golden lion was merely a beast, Darryl saw them as a creature with life
and soul. He could not bear to see it die tragically, so he warned the golden lion in
advance.
Roar!
The golden lion heard Darryl's instructions clearly and responded with a low growl.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Jameson sneered at the sight of Darryl speaking to the golden lion. "Mister Darren, did I
see it wrongly? Did you just talk to the golden lion? It's just a beast, will it even
understand you?"
Darryl did not bother to pay attention to Jameson. He waved his hand and signaled for the
battle to start.
In an instant, the two golden lions were led into the battle arena.
Roar!
Jameson's golden lion let out an intimidating roar and pounced on its opponent.
Darryl's golden lion was not to be outdone. It roared to meet its opponent; the two golden
lions bit each other immediately.
The two golden lions, one of the high-ranked saint honor and the other a low-ranked saint
honor, had very different strengths.
After fighting for a few minutes, Darryl's golden lion gave up and laid on the ground with
its belly up. That was an expression of showing weakness to its opponent. The golden lion
was quite clever; it obeyed Darryl's instructions.
True enough, Jameson's golden lion stopped attacking when it saw its opponent admitting

Jameson was inexplicably proud. He mocked Darryl. "Mister Darren, you lost the first
match. I don't think there is any need for the next—"
What?
Jameson saw the two golden lions behind Darryl, and he suddenly realized something, and he was struck dumb
on the spot.
Darryl had golden lions of the high-ranked saint honor and middle -ranked saint honor, whereas his remaining
golden lions were in the middle-ranked saint honor and lower-ranked saint honor.
Jameson seemed to have no chance of winning against Darryl if the battle continued.
At the same time, the Queen and the surrounding people finally understood Darryl's strategy. They were cheering
for him.
"Now I understand—"
"I can see it too. Darren is playing to his strength against the opponent's weaknesses; his strategy is brilliant."
"Yes, Mister Darren is very quick-minded. He's really admirable."
Everyone was praising Darryl. The Queen was also smiling; she was gazing admiringly at Darryl.
Darryl looked at Jameson with a smile. "Jameson, shall we go on to the second match?"

Jameson flushed with disbelief; he was speechless.
